You can download the OPML file and load it up into your RSS feed. I did start visiting the various blogs to find some i'd enjoy reading, but there are so many!
For finding blogs I either pick them up organically here or on lobste.rs.
The more niche your blog is, the more chances you'll have at sharing it on highly specialized subreddits - otherwise you can always drop links to your blog in HN conversation threads if it feels relevant. That's how I developed a bit of readership on mine.
And in the interest of sharing blogs, a classic is "Old New Thing" written by Raymond Chen. It's highly technical around Microsoft/Windows but I enjoy how incredibly thorough it is.
I've discovered (and rediscovered) several blogs through MR over the years. I'm not a fan though of the recent trend of linking to X threads and essays.
While I much prefer blogs to exist outside of walled garden-type websites, I've begrudgingly come to terms with Substack.
Some time ago @revskill posted a request for peoples blogs here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36575081
The responses were aggregated and posted to Github here: https://github.com/outcoldman/hackernews-personal-blogs?tab=...

I've been liking https://minifeed.net/
I recently found: The highest-ranking personal blogs of Hacker News
https://refactoringenglish.com/tools/hn-popularity/
I mainly discover new blogs from links from other blogs I read or from HN.
I share my blog on HN and Bluesky and a few niche communities like Mander (when it makes sense).
Most of my traffic right now comes from chatbots citing my posts, StackExchange, or links in documentation.
My website is https://bcmullins.github.io
Besides Hacker News, I mainly discover new blogs via links from blogs I already read.
As for sharing my own blog, it's mainly here for me as well, or in open comments sections where that's encouraged.
So... I'd also love suggestions on other ways!
What's your blog?
As you're aware, HN users have an editable about section in their profile. eg:
https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=bobbiechen announces https://bobbiechen.com/blog
Thanks! I also write a topic-based blog on APIs, platforms, and more at https://digitalseams.com/
Sorry, I didn't think to check lol

I think I'd like to try lobster.rs -- would you move sending me an invite? (Email in profile)
What's your blog, I want to see it.
Sure. It's in my profile but I can attach it here:
https://mordenstar.com
People share their blogs here occasionally. Both technical and personal blogs.
Also, your social media algorithm might have adjusted to feed you blog related content.
Having said that, here's my own personal blog - https://www.rxjourney.net/
If you're feeling extra generous, you can leave a donation.
There's a lot of great ideas here already. The only other source I regularly use is marginalrevolution.com, although it's somewhat niche.

For me, Reddit and HN
I use Mastodon as a microblog and link long form content to my actual blog.
